Satsangs
Sat is Being. Sat is the Substratum. Sat is the Self.
“Satsanga means sanga, association with Sat. Sat is only the Self. Since the Self is not now understood to be Sat, the company of the sage who has thus understood it is sought. That is Sat-Sanga. Introversion results. Then Sat is revealed. For whom is association? For whom is dosha?” (deficiency)
~ Sri Ramana Maharshi, Talks, 4th ed., 1968, Sri Ramanasramam
“In satsang, doubts are resolved, questions are answered, the Truth is revealed, and the way to realize is shown.”
~ Nome
“Satsang with a wise sage is more than words floating through the atmosphere; it is the experience of Reality itself. Those attuned to this phenomenon understand the greatness of association with the sage and the power of satsang.”
~ One Self, Introduction
“My children, if you want to practise yoga, you must remove all attachment from your hearts.
If you cannot do this, keep the company of holy men, for holy company is the panacea for the disease of worldliness.”
~ Dattatreya, Avadhuta Gita, Trans. Swami Chetanananda
“In the company of sages, attachment vanishes; and with attachment, illusion. Freed from illusion, one attains stability, and thence liberation while yet alive. Seek therefore the company of sages.”
